Dog's Play

We love Julie and the staff at Dog's Play! I have been training with Julie since 2021 and have used Dog's Play for everything from high-level agility coaching to boarding over the holidays to training foster dogs with severe behavioral problems. Julie is a wealth of knowledge with decades of diverse experience. Her approach is always positive and promotes a strong bond between dog and owner. Her assistant trainer Keith is also excellent with the dogs and has been an asset to the program. Dog's Play is the best in the area for puppy classes, CGC trick training, reactive dog training, behavioral issues, boarding, competitive rally, agility, and more. Julie has a huge heart, truly cares about dogs and people, and constantly gives back to the community by providing training services to local

There's not many things that I would drive 20 miles for, but working with Julie is one of those things. She has curated an incredible team of dog trainers, staff members, and property out at Dog's Play. She truly cares about every animal that appears in front of her, making sure that they get the training, guidance, and chance they need to have a successful life as a pet, therapy, working, or service dog. Her ability to communicate, engage, and build real results without use of harsh methods, negative language, is frankly beyond impressive. I couldn't be more grateful for both their 6-week puppy classes, beginning with STAR puppy to preparation for urban canine good citizen all on the path to training my service dog. They also understand and help with the difficulties of raising a puppy, a

Julie has trained and boarded almost all our dogs. She has impressed me with her immense patience with both the dogs and myself. She has a deep love for helping dogs be their best. She has explained fear stages, treat tricks and so much more. She is also very kind. She sees the best in each and every dog she encounters. Since knowing her I have encountered several trainers. While each may offer something, she is now and always will be my resource person with my own fur babies.

Julie and her team at Dog’s play have always been fantastic ! I have been using several services over the years, whether it has been with my own three dogs or any rescues I bring to them. My dogs absolutely love it there and what Julie can do to rehab a dog is quite astonishing. I basically brought her Cujo and she turned him into an instagram model. Highly recommend. Great people who do great work. I am forever grateful.

We have had our pups stay with Julie at Dog's play every time we go out of town. They are always super excited to go and they are pleasantly exhausted when they return home. Julie did some intensive training behavior training over the course of a month with one of our pups which made a tremendous difference in her behavior with people and other dogs. Julie and her team are amazing-I recommend them without hesitation!
